Hi all,
Is there a way to detect memory fragmentation on linux ? This is because on some long running servers I have noticed performance degradation and only after I restart process I see better performance. I noticed it more when using linux huge page support -- are huge pages in linux more prone to fragmentation ?
I have looked at /proc/buddyinfo in particular. I want to know whether there are any better ways to look at it.
